Embracing Complexity as the New Normal
A talk by Sami Niemelä
The world is increasingly messy and complex, and it’s ok. Our craft is entering a new golden age where we instead of pixels look into things such into futures, strategy, organisations and capability development. In order to lead, we need to embrace complexity through tools like systems and futures thinking towards a more responsible, purpose driven world.
